The selected student will be in charge of transcribing baptism records from the Archdiocese of Santo Domingo from the late 16th and early 17th century. The records are written in old Spanish script, so under my guidance, students will spend the initial weeks getting acquainted with early modern Spanish writing conventions and handwriting. Students will thus learn Spanish Paleography, that is, the making of a transcription of a manuscript page written in early modern script. These could be useful skills for those interested to work in historical archives or those interested to go to graduate school to study the history early modern Spain, colonial Latin America, or the Spanish Caribbean. Patience and perseverance during these early we...

Students interested in brain-to-brain coordination during coversation (as well as development of it in children and clinical populations) are invited to train in my lab (https://malaia.people.ua.edu/opportunities.html) as volunteers. Class credit available in CD 350 or CD 360 Honors; training in Good Laboratory Practices and experiment administration provided. Since the training is fairly involved, 1-year commitment (Fall-Spring, or Spring-Fall) is required. You'd be working in a small group (3-4 student researchers), and comfortable coordinating/scheduling flexibly. The hours (3-5/week) are calculated based on 2-3 experimental recordings a week, which, depending on participant availability, might take place evenings or weekends. Any ma...

Dr. Biefeld’s BODY LAB is looking for undergraduate research assistants (RAs). We study how experiences of harassment and discrimination (at an individual and systematic level) impact the mental and physical health of children and adolescents. We also investigate the ways that body justice, intersecting identities, and community membership foster well-being and healthy development. Importantly, work in the lab utilizes both quantitative and qualitative approaches. You can see more about our work here: https://bodylab.ua.edu/ We study topics such as: (1) perceptions of discrimination across intersecting identities (e.g., gender identity, body-size, sexual orientation, and race/ethnicity) (2) peer-to-peer gender-based and sexual haras...
